With Justice Krishnan Ramasamy of the Madras High Court set to deliver his verdict at 9 a.m. on Monday on the validity of the AIADMK general council meeting scheduled to begin at 9.15 a.m. at a private wedding hall at Vanagaram, Chennai, the camps led by warring leaders Edappadi K. Palaniswami and O. Panneerselvam spent anxious moments on Sunday.
Mr. Panneerselvam, who is hopelessly outnumbered in the general council as was evident from the June 23 meeting, has challenged the event convened by the party headquarters office-bearers. Mr. Palaniswami is hoping that his bid to become the supreme leader by throwing out the dual leadership would fructify at least on Monday. Both camps remained busy through the day, preparing to face the outcome of the legal battle.
